Are they jealous of my art?
People tell me that I draw really good and I am self-taught drawer. And I never booted up my nose about it, and all of the time I am willing to teach and help my friends. But, there are 3 girls from my class (they are from my group of 5 close friends). I know that critiques are good, but for every drawing(?) and they look at them with green-eyes... So here are some examples: 1) First time I drew boy portrait and showed to one of them, she said that it failed and that I should throw that shame away. 2) I drew cat while German class, and my friend "accidentally" destroyed it with marker. 3) There was a theme "Body in move" for our art class, and when I gave teacher drawing of dancer they all started mocking me & telling that my mom drew it. 4) One of them always finds something bad about drawing (again, critiques are good, but for every drawing?) - nose,eyes etc.. I really don't want them to be jealous of me because of that stupid thing, they all draw good and teacher like their drawings too, but I have that little voice in my head telling me "They are jealous, do something about it!"..
Why are people jealous of me?
I’m a gorgeous 5’6” and 120 pounds. Everyone, especially other women tell me I am too skinny. I’m always told that I need to gain weight. Yet, My blood tests, cholesterol and vitamin levels are off the charts. I don’t eat much meat and eat mostly veggies fruits and whole grains. I eat absolutely NO FAST FOOD. I always cook at home and bring my food from home when I go out. How can I get people to stop being jealous and envious of me?
Why are some women so jealous of me?
Don't listen to the women here who immediately felt so insecure with themselves that they cannot even answer a question without throwing daggers. It's difficult to go shopping with girlfriends when they feel too uncomfortable to let you take a turn. I have some one-way relationships too. You are right that most of these women who respond are jealous..in essence, proving your point. only a couple of them are acutally being helpful. I appreciate your honesty on this forum, and i'm not going to assume that you go around telling people how hot you are because that would be a stupid assumption. So my honest advice for you is to ignore these comments and instead draw strength from God instead of worrying about how others view you. It is so easy to get caught up in that kind of worrying. The world cares much about exalting petty things like outer beauty, education, being slim and blonde. Look at Hollywood!! Most women really are jealous. YOU just have to turn your focus away from their jeering and towards things that are eternal, like your soul. God loves you because He made you. You are loved.
How do you deal with jealous friends?
In my mind, I take them as snake who can bite whenever they get chances. So, I avoid them most of the time. But in front of them, I just praise them to the highest (and do not forget to inform them that I envy them!).
How do I know if someone is jealous?
People who are jealous of you simply don't like being associated with you and have little or nothing to say to you while looking down at you as if you mean nothing. Takes a lot of energy to be jealous of someone. They could be talking behind your back unfavorably as well.
How can I tell if someone is jealous of me?
I had a colleague who was very jealous of me, at least that is what people told me when I complained of her behavior. Here is what I experienced:She would copy me. If I got a new piece of jewelry then she would get something very similar shortly afterward. If I traveled somewhere, she would go on a trip also to some place similar.She would be very nice to me to my face but them put me down behind my back. People would tell me about some of the things she said I was doing. Not of it was true.She was constantly complaining about others. No one was very competent in her opinion. I was one of them when my back was turned.We were friends outside the work place. But she would like to purposefully exclude me and tell me about where she went and what she did.She would never compliment me or ask about a trip.I always had the feeling that she was trying to “ put me in my place”.These things went on for quite a few years. I tolerated it because I worked with her and wanted to keep my work environment as peaceful as possible. She must have taken this as permission to keep doing it. Finally, the last straw came. I had golfed with her and a couple other ladies for about 8 years on Wednesday afternoons in the summer. She had recently been particularly difficult to work with and had alienated several other people with her negativity and complaining. She was going to schedule a tee time for the following week. I asked her to just let me know. She never told me and I found out that our group had gone without me. I finally confronted her about it and told the entire group that I would never do anything with them again. They were not “friends” if they were going to treat me like that. At work I had asked to be reassigned to a different area so I wouldn’t have to work with her again.After breaking it off with her I realized a few things… Her negativity had unconsciously rubbed off on me. I had to work on not criticizing and complaining about others. She really had been toxic. I developed better friendships with other, more positive people. I was so much happier!
What are the signs that someone is jealous of you because of your looks?
I am going to leave off the "because of your looks" part and answer the question based on general signs of jealousy. The one thing I have noticed that all jealous people do is devalue whatever quality it is that they are jealous of. If they are jealous of your looks, they will mention how other people are "really beautiful." They will sometimes go so far as to specifically mention qualities of this "really beautiful" person that contrast with your qualities. For example, an attractive woman with “ethnic” looks will be compared to someone who is "really beautiful" that has blonde hair. If a woman is curvy, she will be compared to really beautiful women who are "fit."Additionally, jealous people almost never come right out with their insults. Jealous people will usually deliver their insults surreptitiously by talking about the praiseworthy qualities of someone they admire. As you listen to the jealous person’s praises of the other person, you will usually notice that the qualities that are being esteemed just so happen to be in direct contrast to your qualities. If you do confront the jealous person on this, they will be “shocked” and “hurt” that you would think this of them. Then, for the coup d’etat, they will label you as “paranoid” or “arrogant” for thinking that you are impressive enough to inspire jealousy.All in all, jealous people are just as maddening as they are transparent. My best suggestion is to avoid them when you can. Instead, surround yourself with people who want to help you to grow. Trust me, your mental health will be all the better for it.
